The renowned California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort has announced upcoming price increases that will take effect next month. While this popular dining destination has always maintained a premium pricing model, the adjustments mean that guests can expect a slight rise in their overall dining bills. The increases are particularly notable for the restaurant’s 3-Course Selection Menu and the Deluxe Wine Pairing options.
The price changes will become effective on November 7, 2025. This means that diners planning to enjoy a meal at this iconic eatery should be aware of the new pricing before making their reservations, as the increases will inevitably affect their dining budget during their magical vacation at Walt Disney World.
For families and groups, the new prices may call for a reassessment of their dining plans. With the cost of the 3-Course Selection Menu moving from $89 to $99 per adult, along with increased charges for wine pairings, guests will have to consider their options carefully. The restaurant’s reputation for exceptional food and spectacular views still stands, but budget-conscious diners may feel the pinch more acutely with these changes.
Current Pricing Structure
Until the new prices take effect, diners will find that the pricing structure at California Grill includes the following options: $89 per adult for the 3-Course Selection Menu, $39 per child (ages 3-9), and a Deluxe Wine Pairing for an additional $72. This pricing was relatively par for the course for Disney fine dining, making it popular among visitors seeking a unique culinary experience.
New Pricing Details
Starting November 7, guests will see the adult pricing for the 3-Course Selection Menu rise to $99. Interestingly, the pricing for children remains unchanged at $39. This adjustment might lead some patrons to explore alternative dining options at other locations within the resort, especially if they are traveling with families or larger groups.
In addition to the increase for the meal itself, the Deluxe Wine Pairing will also see a notable hike, rising from $72 to $78 per person. Wine pairings are a much-loved feature for diners looking to enhance their culinary experience.
Disney World is home to a plethora of dining options suitable for a range of budgets. Quick-service restaurants, food trucks, and buffets can offer delicious alternatives without the premium price tag of fine dining. Exploring these options can complement a trip to California Grill while allowing guests to enjoy a variety of culinary experiences throughout the parks.
